Nice little app, but...

...it doesn't update properly on my Apple watch. I set the complication to show on the bottom of the face and that seems to update properly. However, when I press on it to expand it and see the other data, it doesn't update at all. It seems I have to open the app on my phone in order for it to update on my watch. For example, on the face of my watch it says the temp is 73°. When I press on it, it shows the temp is 68°. (It is currently 73° and hasn't been 68° in a couple of hours.) Other than that, it seems to be a nice little app.

Excellent

Highly customizable. Looks and works great on the Apple Watch. Glad I happened to find it. Cost is very reasonable. Thanks.

Updated review. Watch app still unreliable

5

Had updated my review because I started using the watch complications again due to the developer giving a response to my review saying that a recent update had fixed the issue. I updated my review too soon because I am having the same issue again. Back to the normal weather for my watch
Original review: “Love all the customization his app lets you do and I’ve decided it’s my favorite looking weather app and I’d love to use it for along time. With that being said every 2 or so days when I remove my Apple Watch for charging and then put it back on the watch can’t receive anything from the app..? But then when I click the empty bars it makes on my watch face under “fore cast bar” it will try to open the app for about 3-5 seconds and crash no matter how many times I try it and the main face of my watch still only says “forecast bar” and lots of lines. Please update to get around this issue because everything else about the app I love but I won’t be able to continue using it if I have to power off and restart my watch every time I get done charging it which honestly sometimes doesn’t even fix it. Will Change to 5 stars if fixed”

I love this app

I’m a huge weather enthusiast... and I’ve tried every app and this is by far the greatest weather app ever. Whoever came up with this must be a genius. Thanks for your great contribution to the world.

Nice to see a weather app for MacOS, iOS, and WatchOS

5

I have always been interested in weather but have wanted a forecast app for all three platforms. Forecast Bar provides for all Apple platforms and allows the choice of two excellent sources of data - either The Weather Company or Dark Sky. The interface is very configurable and is essentially the same on a Mac or iPhone. There are separate subscriptions for the MacOS and iOS platforms (the iOS subscription covers Apple Watch) but their rates aren't prohibitively expensive. I really like what Forecast Bar has done. It might be nice to someday be able to choose from multiple locations on WatchOS but that's such a small point as to make it a non-issue. Great job Higher Bar!

Great app with some glaring issues

3

This app is visually the best. It takes the data from Dark Sky and then outs it in an incredibly simple yet customizable package. Two significant issues; 1. Radar is very slow to load and 2. Alerts don't work; you get alerts but when you open them they always say Null. Fix these issues and this is the best weather app, until then it makes it difficult to use.

Best weather app....yes. I have tried over 50.

This is the best. No gimmicks. It’s very clean and accurate. Has a widget and great Apple Watch app. Couldn’t find one that checks all the boxes. I am really impressed. No one asked me to give this review. Just want to give good feedback do it gets downloaded more and they continue support for it. Try it.

Great functionality, but...

1

The interface and functionality are wonderfully detailed, both on the phone and my watch. I love the customization and widget functionality. The weather is very accurate and I love the alert customization. My only gripes, which sadly, are deal breakers for me are 1) The radar is very slow to load compared to other apps such as My Radar and The Weather Channel. And 2) I can't use this app on my apple watch (series 3) without having to connect to my phone's Bluetooth! Every other weather app I've used allows me to use them without my phone needing to be present, why doesn't this one! If you make this app standalone usable with the apple watch, I will give it five stars and make it my go-to weather app.

Not as good as it used to be

2

It’s ok, used to be better. Huge difference in weather between dark sky and the weather company.
And on dark sky the weather alerts don’t give any information. Reads (null).
As an update; I’ve emailed support twice with no response. Time to move on I think.
